Howard and Irene Levine Affordable Housing Development Program (LAHDP)
The UCLA Ziman Center for Real Estate is pleased to host the fifth annual Howard and Irene Levine Affordable Housing Development Program (LAHDP) in 2022. LAHDP is an accelerated university-level educational training program designed to provide professionals with the knowledge and practical skills to develop affordable housing. Affordable housing development is a highly specialized sector, requiring specific knowledge and expertise in the areas of entitlement, public-private funding sources, tax-credits, capital structures, design, and project management. Drawing on the success of the Ziman Center's existing affordable housing curriculum, LAHDP cohort will receive instruction from leading UCLA faculty and affiliated professionals utilizing proven teaching methodologies and materials.
COVID-19 UPDATE: LAHDP will be offered in person at the UCLA campus in 2022. Please note that given the ongoing uncertainty with COVID-19 in LA County, the intended plan for traditional classroom instruction and content delivery may be modified to include the utilization of remote learning technology if directed by UCLA's campus safety protocols.
LAHDP 2022 online applications have closed.
LAHDP 2023 will be announced in late Spring '23.
LAHDP22 training sessions are scheduled during the last week of October and first two weeks of November, with a total of two 2-hour live pre-program Zoom workshops and six full days of in-person instruction at UCLA. Admitted students must attend all eight LAHDP22 workshops and sessions in their entirety. A certificate will be awarded to all participants upon completion of the program.

LAHDP was created for professionals seeking to enter the affordable housing field, entry-level affordable housing professionals, and professionals providing support services for the development of affording housing projects.
Participants will be drawn from the public, private and nonprofit sectors. The cohort will be selected from diverse sectors in order to enrich the learning experience, and foster meaningful networks. LAHDP seeks to have a positive impact on not only participants, but the organizations they represent.
In addition to building a skill set and a network, LAHDP graduates will have access to UCLA Ziman Center for Real Estate programs and events. This includes regular and ongoing programming of the Howard and Irene Levine Program in Housing and Social Responsibility, of which LAHDP is a subset program.
The Ziman Center's Howard and Irene Levine Affordable Housing Development Program is made possible by a generous gift from Howard and Irene Levine. The program has been significantly subsidized to allow access to all individuals and organizations. The tuition fee covers registration, instruction, materials, meals, campus parking, and networking and speaker sessions. The 2022 program will consist of 36 participants who will be selected through an admissions application review process.
Additionally, the Ziman Center will offer a limited number of reduced fee scholarships based on need. If you are requesting a program fee reduction, please include a personal statement in your online application that demonstrates need and includes the amount that you can financially contribute toward your program fees. The LAHDP Review Committee will weigh the allocation of available scholarship funds and all requests during the application review process. If needed, we may contact individuals for additional information to support scholarship requests.
$1,500 Private Sector
$850 Public Sector and Non-profits
Reduced Fee Scholarships available
